Germany vs. France
Match Preview: Be it World Wars or World Cups, France and Germany always seem to find a way to cross paths, don't they?
France has recovered well from a poor showing in the 2010 World Cup when it finished last in its group (and its group included South Africa) with only one point. This go round the French won their group and took down Nigeria to advance to the quarterfinals. They've done so thanks largely to a strong defensive effort, allowing only two goals in their four games.
That's one goal less than the team's leading scorer, Karim Benzema, has managed by himself.
The Germans, as Americans are well aware, won their group as well before defeating Algeria 2-1 in extra time in the last round. Germany opened the World Cup with a 4-0 shellacking of Portugal, but has looked a lot more mortal since, only outscoring its three opponents (Ghana, United States, Algeria) 5-3 since.
And the French will be a tougher test than any of those three teams, with things becoming a bit more difficult thanks to a report that several players, including Thomas Müller -- who has four goals in this World Cup -- have been battling some kind of illness lately.
Will it have any affect on Friday's match? I guess we'll just have to wait to find out.
